and work ethic on and off the
court, the best thing I can say
about both players are that
they are coming back for
another year," Muse contin

work in the season
and improve as much this
spring and summer as they did
last year they wilj be fun to
watch their senior season."

dent-athletes grow as people
and players over their high
school career. It's also nice to
see Winston-Salem well rep
resented on this All-District 7
team. Each one of these kids
are good players and deserve
to be on this team. Others
players from Winston-Salem
should have been nominated
to be placed on this team."
